Posted by JOE @ NYCTMG - NYCMTS on Fri Aug 19 05:08:17 2005, in response to Re: 76th Street (Was: Re: posting), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Aug 18 11:40:50 2005. Sorry, my friend...This is a disgracefully poor photoshop created photo....period. Some Prima Facie evidence --to wit: (a) look at the uneveness of the thickness of the box loop on the numeral " 6 " (b) look at the thinner profile of the letter " T " compared to the thicker letter " S " in ST (c) I would presume there would be the usual period mark " . " after the letter "T" in street, missing here (d) Look at the thick to thin transition (starting at left lower corner side of signbox) lighter blue border line tile under the "76 ST" herald -- with the lower border line also being slightly thiner than the top border line --- poor computer artwork !! (e) Even more glaringly sloppy artwork is the poor lineup of the white wall tiles at the right side of the sign itself ... mostly in that suspiciously "shaded" area...note the mortar lines....they angle slightly upward...starting at the top right corner of the "signbox" with the top white tiles getting slightly narrower as they reach the upper, top-most, decorative wall band dark blue borderline tiles (f) at the lower right corner of the signbox, note that the 6th row of white wall tiles angles upward and the mortar line between the 6th & 7th row of white tiles show that the 7th row of tiles tend to widen up as they continue to the far right...and the 8th and all lower white wall tile rows are normal and even size, and lined up in a true straight line with, and to, their mates going to the left side of the photo. Note the darker shading of the oddly shaped and angled white tiles section has its darker grey shading border anging downward across the 7th tile row to the right of the signbox. The Photoshop-ee was unskilled or simply careless in his use of "perspective" (photo vanishing point distancing) tools. If this "was" a "real" photo, the tile mason setting those tiles should have been fired, or in some other countries, heh, maybe shot ! As one who has been a professional photog for over 40 years in both commercial, structural, press, and portraiture (and later in miniature rail model photo fields) as one of my many professional employment "hats" I wore, this "faux photo" is an amateurish, hasty composition and "I" would be embarrased to pass it off if it was created by my own hand, as "authentic" Sorry, no disrespect to the photo poster, but my professional photography training, and degreed criminology training, and decades in both fields, assures me, per (a) thru (f) above, that this image is bogus. I've seen better CGI work in "Forrest Gump" and some 1950's era Sci Fi movies. But a joke is a joke...fess up ! I think my compatriot, Unca Kevin (SELKIRK, MOOoo...) and some others here will agree with me. Unca Selkirk knows "who" I am ! Even this unusual photo below that I took is totally REAL (authentic, not a fake composition) in the real world ! When, where and how it was taken, and shot "live", is another --but quite authentic, "story" !  IRT Manhattan Elevated Div. MUDC EL wood car under the EL on streetcar tracks.
